What are your thoughts on pay and bonuses at your company?
I think the pay is pretty good, though it is not market leading. Given the cost-of-living crisis, I would certainly like to see it higher. I am not sure what the bonus situation looks like.

Starting graduate salary is pretty good.
Graduate, Perth
The pay is very good. We got a bonus for being admitted into the legal profession. And all the grads are in lock-step so that there is no feeling of competition or stress to do well during the rotations. Only once we have settled into where we want to go does the pay become unlocked and we can earn pay rises.

Competitive, especially as a graduate lawyer, however you can't get bonuses as a graduate.

The pay is below market, but the billable hour targets are the highest in the market (7.5 billable hours per day).
